Synopsis
Having conducted research during the second half of the 1990s, Traphagan (Asian studies, U. of Texas-Austin) explores the symbols and practices that Japanese use to enter and experience old age. The elderly, he explains, are the people primarily charged with ritual performance, and with maintaining the collective well-being, through ritual, of their families and communities. Thus they remain connected and engaged with society. Annotation ©2004 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
